I’d like to introduce our latest addition to the blog, Casual Friday, where we offer more practical and well, casual clothing suggestions.

I have to admit that I hate the idea of “Casual Friday,” especially in the work place. That may sound strict or harsh, but, in my opinion, if you’re going to be in a workplace, there is no need to be casual about your work. If you are casual about your work, then you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place.

Yesterday Vinney showed us a boat shoe that was just a little different than your average Sperry Top Sider. Today he shared with us his outfit to a summer wedding, channeling the 1960’s chic of days gone by.

A pair of drivers are critical to looking fresh during the warmer months of summer. I would argue that a nice pair of suede kicks such as the Tod’s above are an excellent choice. If you’re going to spend $300 something dollars on a pair, get a loud color like these yellow ones, or a purple (I have a pair) and then wear them without socks and ensuring that the rest of your outfit is understated to balance out the shouting drivers on your feet.

So its summer time and you probably want to set yourself apart from others. It’s only natural, so don’t worry. The question is, how can you? Summer is difficult for fashion, its hot, and makes putting pieces together hard.

As we continue our week filled with delicious Zuriick kicks, we wanted to state a few products from Zuriick’s new summer line. If the aesthetics of the shoe aren’t enough, they’re also handing out Zuriick Wayfarers for free with the first 200 purchases in the month of May. Hot damn! Be sure to keep reading after the jump for a look at some of Zuriick’s new products (and some personal favs) with their signature purple sole.

APC, the French label known for its patronage by stylish nerds, has released its summer collection. The muse of the collection seems to be Ciro Petrone, from the Italian movie Gomorra. Though, I may be mistaken.

Regardless, the collection is a pretty divergent look for the brand, as it seems to take on a more edgy and hedonistic look then previous lines. Here are a few examples from APC:
